DECLARATION,
IN ORDER TO OBTAIN THE BENEFIT OF THE ACT OF CONGRESS OF THE 7TH OF JUNE, 1832.
STATE OF MASSACHUSETTS, } ss. COUNTY OF HAMPSHIRE. }
ON this eleventh day of September 1832 personally appeared in open court, before Samuel Brinsley Judge of the court of Probate now sitting, Timothy Engram a resident of Chesterfield in the County of Hampshire, and State of Massachusetts, aged seventy eight years, who being first duly sworn, according to law, doth, on his oath, make the following declaration, in order to obtain the benefit of the provision made by the act of Congress passed June 7, 1832. That he entered the service of the United States under the following named officers, and served as herein stated. - I was born in Berkley Mass. in 1754, but have
no record of my age. When a boy, I with my father's family removed from Berkley to Freetown Ms and thence to Pelham Ms. While I was an inhabitant of Pelham, I went on a visit to my brother's in S. Freetown & there in the year 1775 in the month of April I think, enlisted for eight months into the service of the United States in the States Troops so called, in a company commanded by Capt. Remsey and was marched from Freetown to Roxbury where I then joined a regiment commanded by Col. David Brewer - this Lieut. Col. was Putnam - the General's name was Thomas. I continued in the service at Roxbury eight months when the term of my enlistment expired & then returned to Pelham. Again in the year 1776 on the 25th day of December at Pelham I enlisted into the States Troops for three months under Capt. Cowdell and by order of Capt. Lawson, marched from thence to Danby in the state of New York, and the next morning after my arrival was marched to Morristown in New Jersey to relieve the continental guard over the stores & there continued to the ex- piration of the term of my enlistment & then returned to Pelham. Again in 1777 I enlisted into the States Troops at Pelham, in July, I am confident, for the term of three months in a company commanded by Capt. Flower. The Lieut. name was Rev. L. I was marched from thence to Bennington in Vermont - then to Pawlet Vt - then to Stillwater N.Y. and then joined a Regiment. I do not recollect the name of the Col. or Lt. Col. but the Brigadier General's name was Warner. From Stillwater we marched to Saratoga where Burgoyne surrendered from thence we marched to Albany where we staid about three weeks. Then went aboard a vessel and down the Hudson to Albany by order of General Gates & then I remained about a week when the term of my enlistment expired and I returned to Pelham. Again in 1779. I am not positive as to the month, but think it was May or June. I being then at Chesterfield aforesaid, enlisted again into the service in States Troops, for six months, in a company commanded by Capt. Joshua L. Woodbridge, & marched from Chesterfield to Providence in Rhode Island & then joined a regiment under the command of Col. Bragg. I continued in the service at Providence and on Rhode Island until the expiration of my enlistment - was then dismissed & returned home to Chesterfield. Again, at Chesterfield, in the year 1780. The precise time of the year I do not recollect, I enlisted into the service in States Troops for three months, in a company commanded by Capt. Ebenezer Phelps, & was marched from Chesterfield to Claverack in the state of New York and then joined a Regiment under the command of Col. Seth Murray. I think after a few days stay at Claverack, we again marched to Westpoint where I remained in the service until I was duly dismissed just before the expiration of my term of enlistment. Making the whole term of my service in the revolutionary war, twenty three months. I have been an inhabitant of Chester- field ever since. I never received a discharge from the service. I also state that I have no documentary evidence than what accompanies this application & that I know of no person whose testimony I can get who can testify to my service.
He hereby relinquishes every claim whatever to a pension or an annuity, except the present, and he declares that his name is not on the pension roll of any agency in any State, or (if any,) only on that of the agency in the State of
Sworn to, and subscribed, the day and year aforesaid.
Before me Samuel Brinsley Judge of Probate Timothy Engram
We, Isaac Waters residing in the town of Chesterfield and Alvah Rice residing in Chesterfield hereby certify, that we are well acquainted with Timothy Engram who has subscribed and sworn to the above declaration; that we believe him to be seventy eight years of age; that he is reputed and believed, in the neighbor- hood where he resides, to have been a soldier of the revolution, and that we concur in that opinion.

BRIEF objections to the admission of Pension Claims , of which those answered in the negative, in red ink, will apply to the claim of Timothy Gngram which require further proof or explanation.
I. Does the declaration show where the applicant resides? yes II. Did the declarant make the declaration in the county where he resides? yes III. If the applicant did not make the declaration in the county where he resides, is there any reason assigned for his not doing so? no IV. Has the declarant mentioned the period or periods of the war when he served? yes V. * Has he mentioned with precision the length of his service, and the different grades in which he served, in language so definite as to enable the department to determine to what amount of pension he is entitled? no VI. Has he given the names of the officers under whom he served, in conformity with the regulations? yes VII. Has he made a relinquishment of every claim to any other pension than the one under the Act of June 7, 1832? yes VIII. Has the Court given their opinion? yes IX. Has the Clerk given his certificate? yes X. Is the Clerk's seal affixed? And if so, has it a device or inscription by which it can be distinguished from any other seal? yes

XI. Has the applicant obtained the evidence of a clergyman and another respectable citizen as to their belief respecting his age and the general belief in his neighborhood relative to his revolutionary service? 29
XII. If the clergyman's affidavit has not been produced, is there any reason assigned for not obtaining it? —
XIII. If the applicant has no documentary evidence, and has not obtained the testimony of at least one living witness, has he stated in his declaration that such proof cannot be had? 4 witnesses only considered as credible
XIV. † If the applicant's name is not found on the rolls of military service, has he produced a witness or witnesses as to his service? 29
If he has produced direct proof as to service, has the magistrate who administered the oath, certified to the credibility of the witness or witnesses? NO - that one only
Has the proper officer certified to the official character and signature of the magistrate as the regulations direct? 29
XV. Does it appear from any of the papers that the witness was in such a situation, or of such an age, as to have a personal knowledge of the applicant's service? 29
XVI. ‡ Are the papers authenticated as the regulations direct? 29
XVII. Are the seven interrogatories prescribed by the War Department answered satisfactorily? And, if not, which of them is not so answered? Answered
EXPLANATORY NOTES.
* QUERE V. In a case where the applicant cannot, by reason of the loss of memory, state precisely how long he served, he should amend his declaration by making an affidavit in the following words: "Personally appeared before me, the undersigned, a Justice of the Peace, &c. A. B. who, being duly sworn, deposeth and saith, that, by reason of old age, and the consequent loss of memory, he cannot swear positively as to the precise length of his service, but according to the best of his recollection he served not less than the periods mentioned below, and in the following grades; For _____ year _____ months, and _____ days, I served as a _____ For _____ months and _____ days, I served as a _____; and for such service I claim a pension."

It is important in all cases to determine with precision the period for which each applicant served, and the particular rank he held, as the law directs the pension to be paid according to the grade of the pensioner and the length of his service. The use of the phrase about three or four months is too indefinite, and all such qualifying expressions are objectionable. Some persons who apply for pensions merely state they served two years in the militia, &c. without specifying the tours; the names of the officers, and other particulars respecting their service. This form of a declaration is highly objectionable. It must in every case be clearly shewn under what officers the applicant served; the duration of each term of engagement; the particular place or places where the service was performed; that the applicant served with an embodied corps called into service by competent authority; that he was either in the field or in garrison; and for the time during which the service was performed, he was not employed in any civil pursuit.
†QUERE XIV. Proof of Service.
In a case where the name of the applicant is not found on the records of the Department, he must prove his service by two credible witnesses, who are required to set forth in their affidavits the time of the claimants entering the service, and the time and manner of his leaving the same, as well as the regiment, company, and line to which he belonged. The magistrate who may administer the oaths must certify to the credibility of the witnesses, and the official character and signature of the magistrate must be certified by the proper officer, under his seal of office.
‡QUERE XVI. Mode of authenticating papers.
In every instance where the certificate of the certifying officer who authenticates the papers is not written on the same sheet of paper which contains the affidavit, or other paper authenticated, the certificate must be attached thereto by a piece of tape or narrow ribbon, the ends of which must pass under the seal of office of the certifying officer, so as to prevent any paper from being improperly attached to the certificate.
☞ In every case where the clerk of the court, or other certifying officer, has no public seal of office, the certificate of a member of congress, proving the official character and signature of the certifying officer, should accompany the papers.
